Yeah, very likely. It's the new gold rush, and they are commanding wages that make me drool (and also make me want to howl in pain and agony and envy but hey, let's not mention the obvious, shall we?).

I always forget the name of that law but... it's hard to make somebody understand something if their salary depends on them not understanding it.

Conflict of interest perhaps

Yep. Still makes me wonder if they are not seeing the truth but just refusing to admit it.

It’s a line by Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

For similar reasons, I can confidently say that your disliking of LLMs is sour grapes.

I could take you seriously if you didn't make elementary English mistakes. Also think what you like, makes zero difference to me.
